Is 2 + 2 = 4? Meta-analyses of brain areas needed for numbers and calculations (2011, background): “Extant reviews of numerical processes in the neuroimaging literature are based on qualitative reports (Ansari, 2007, 2008; Dowker, 2006; Neumarker, 2000; Nieder and Dehaene, 2009).”
Computer-Assisted Intervention for Children with Low Numeracy Skills (2009, background): “Dysfunctions of IPS have been linked to acalculia in acquired brain damage (Dehaene, Piazza, Pinel, & Cohen, 2003) as well as in mathematical difficulties in children (Price, Holloway, Räsänen, Vesterinen, & Ansari, 2008).”
Multiple components of developmental dyscalculia (2013, background): “First, the integrity of visual and auditory association cortex which help decode the visual form and phonological features of the stimulus, and the parietal attention system [17] which helps to build semantic representations of quantity [2].”
Morphological Differences in the Parietal Lobes within the Human Genus (2010, background): “…as those related to computation: nonsymbolic and symbolic elements are linked by the integration at the intraparietal sulcus between repeated stimuli and the mental tools of the internal representations, leading to ordered coordination of numerical information (Ansari 2008; Cantlon et al. 2006).”
Pathways to mathematics: longitudinal predictors of performance. (2010, methodology): “Clearly, more evidence is needed to determine the relations among subitizing, nonsymbolic magnitude comparisons, and the development of various mathematical abilities and knowledge (Ansari, 2008; Holloway & Ansari, 2009; Rousselle & Noël, 2007).”
Extending mind, visuospatial integration, and the evolution of the parietal lobes in the human genus (2016, background): “, 2005; Freedman and Assad, 2006), although recently different kinds of integrative processes have been discussed, such as those associated with numbering (Cantlon et al., 2006; Ansari, 2008; Nieder and Dehaene, 2009).”
The Importance of Additive Reasoning in Children’s Mathematical Achievement: A Longitudinal Study (2017, background): “Some researchers suggest that when a person solves an arithmetic problem, the rote verbal representation of the answer to the problem and an approximate representation of the answer’s magnitude will be activated (Ansari, 2008; Hanich, Jordan, Kaplan, & Dick, 2001).”
An integrated theory of whole number and fractions development. (2011, positive): “The horizontal, intra-parietal sulcus (HIPS), a brain area believed to be central to the mental number line, shows greater activation during comparison of numbers close in magnitude than during comparison of numbers further apart, presumably because finer magnitude discriminations require greater ac”
An Integrative Theory of Numerical Development. (2014, background): “& Ansari, D. (2013). How do symbolic and nonsymbolic numerical magnitude processing relate to individual differences in children’s mathematical skills? A review of evidence from brain and behaviour.”
No Innate Number Line in the Human Brain (2011, background): “These mechanisms are not genetically determined but culturally and historically shaped, and they are realized through the systematic phenotypic variation of the human brain (Ansari, 2008).”
Low numeracy and dyscalculia: identification and intervention (2010, background): “However, this neural activation distance effect is not present in the brains of 11-year-old dyscalculic children, suggesting abnormal mental processing of numerical magnitude (Price, Holloway, Räsänen, Vesterinen, & Ansari, 2007). An important aspect of the study by Price et al. (2007) is that the a”
Arithmetic in the Child and Adult Brain (2015, background): “…IPS within the dorsal aspects of the parietal cortex as a region critically involved in the representation and manipulation of numerical quantity (Ansari, 2008; Cantlon, Brannon, Carter, & Pelphrey, 2006; Cantlon, Libertus, Pinel, Dehaene, Brannon, & Pelphrey, 2009; Cohen Kadosh et al., 2008;…”
Neuroeducation – A Critical Overview of An Emerging Field (2012, background): “Currently, cognitive neuroscience is far from being a science that has produced evidence that can be generalized across cultures while, at the same time, the effects of culture on brain function are being revealed [26].”
